Abstract
We investigate the dependence of the measured squeezing level on the local oscillator (LO) intensity noise. The theoretical results indicate that it produces a large measurement error with the increase of the LO intensity noise, but the measurement error has immunity to the product P of the common mode rejection ratio (CMRR) with the LO intensity noise. According to the investigation results and the LO intensity noise, we employ a detector with the CMRR of 67 dB to detect the quantum noise at audio frequencies, the product P of the CMRR with the LO intensity noise is 20 dB below the shot noise limit (SNL), which can induce the measurement error of 0.1 dB for 10 dB of squeezing. Finally, the squeezing level measured at 15.2 kHz is 9.9 ± 0.2 dB. The influence of the intensity noise of the LO, and the electronic noise of the detector is subtracted, the inferred squeezing level is approximately 10.2 ± 0.2 dB. It is extremely important to quantify the requirements of the CMRR of the detector for measuring the squeezing at audio frequency and inferring the real squeezing level.
